This gas turbine model was designed by Genexis Design, Inc. and ray traced with the multi-threaded NuGraf ray tracer.

The image, in the words of Genexis Design, was created as a piece of 'CAD' artwork, to place an otherwise typical CAD model within the realm of a pleasing and artistic environment. This was achieved by a nice combination of soft shadows, bump mapping on the plate (using a copper bitmap) and highly reflective ray traced blades (which were ray traced to a depth of 8 recursive bounces).
